While most of the companies that make it to the WCIA bracket each year tend to stay publicly humble about the honor of being nominated, we do know of a handful that have had intra-office discussions on the topic.

Speaking of Spirit, the carrier is one of the few companies to acknowledge its inclusion in the tournament, telling reporters in 2012 that it “must not be our customers” who are voting against the airline, implying that profitability is the only indicator of a good business.

Anyway, if you work at any of the current or formerly nominated companies and have anything to share — whether it’s directives from on-high or just chit-chat around the coffee machine — feel free to let us know at WCIA@consumerist.com. We will never identify you by full name or provide any information that would make it clear to your employer who you are.
